Logis de Rochebertier stands in Vilhonneur (Charente), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first quarter of the 16th century, 18th century).

The Logis de Rochebertier stands on the right bank of the Tardoire river at Vilhonneur, in the Charente department, within a valley lined with medieval strongholds and watchtowers. Built in the early 16th century by the Renouard family on the site of an earlier fortress, it combines the openness of a Renaissance residence with surviving defensive features such as thick walls, loopholes and a bretèche above the entrance door. Two wings arranged in an L shape meet at a round tower housing a spiral staircase, flanked by further towers and outbuildings.
